[Marketing] FOSDEM & Qt Project

[Quim Gil]

Hi, this is the first call to this mailing list: we have a week to 
decide the fundamentals of what we do at FOSDEM.

Brussels, Feb 4-5
http://forsdem.org

We seem to have missed the chance to submit a session to the main track. 
Pity, because I bet a Qt Project introduction spiced up with the last 
developments of Qt 5 + demo would have been gladly received by that 
audience.

Still, there are good chances to be active in FOSDEM:

Call for stands
http://fosdem.org/2012/call-for-stands
Is there interest and critical mass to man properly a booth?

Call for Lightning Talks
http://fosdem.org/2012/call-for-lightningtalks
Who can submit a proposal to pitch the Qt Project and/or Qt 5?

... and the DevRooms.
DevRooms are still receiving proposals, and as far as I know each one is 
organized quite autonomously.

The list of DevRooms can be found at 
http://fosdem.org/2012/devrooms_for_2012

We have good contacts at "Cross Desktop" and "Open Mobile Linux". Other 
DevRooms might be interested in Qt related content since we really don't 
fit in only one place e.f. "Embedded" or "Open Source Game Development".

Also, if there is critical mass we could aim to organize a Qt 
Contributors Day e.g. on Feb 3rd (Friday, with time to reach the Fosdem 
Beer Party)  ;)

Thoughts? Volunteers?
